"Are police given ANY training"

Most police officers are first responders having attended a 40hr. first aid course.

A smaller number are EMT's having gone through approx. 80 hrs. of training. Short answer, yes they should recognize someone is having a seizure.

One would think that most of the people the police have to deal with have psychological problems so, in a way, yes they have some training.

The training consists of “Shoot them until your weapon runs out of bullets.”
